Hey Geeks,
I just watched the entire ASUS Event at MWC2013, and I must say, in my opinion, they just went overboard by making an overpriced iPhone 4/4S replica, with Replica Siri which they call Echo and Apple Story Mode amongst many other things.
They are just asking to be sued by Apple.
I mean, don't get me wrong, as far as specs on paper go, one word comes to mind, "IMPRESSIVE", plus it is an amazing invention, 2 in 1, a Phone and a Tablet. But for 1000 Euros or ~$1325 no way, too expensive if you ask me.
